FINAL EXAM

Project work with final discussion

For faraway students (outside Europe)

  • If you are coming from far away, we will compact the two Italian modules in a single one of 5 days.
  • For the other two modules, we will try to assure you a 50% participation from remote, despite the hands-on experience will not be possible. This means that if you take all the online modules and you travel to 2 in presence modules (the 5 days in Italy and 1 of the other two in-presence) you can get the master title.

Note that the 5 days module in Italy will be activated only if we have more than 5 students from outside Europe.
